Chapter 30

I followed Calen, my head, running wild with thoughts of what was going to happen, Now that I have met the Queen, I know that she probably wouldn't hurt me, but I didn't start the Fear consuming me over everything else, I never expected the engagement to be so soon, I never even expected to be betrothed.

I doubt I could even say no now. Not without angering them all. Besides, I don't think I want to give Calen up, he is so sweet and kind, I know that he would take good care of me and make sure that nothing bad happened.

But I was only 17, I haven't even lived through half of my life yet, and I was going to be turned into a vampire, expected to carry the vampire prince's sons and daughters.

We are close to an elevator so Calen decides to take us in and press the top floor. I didn't take notice of the name, penthouse is what humans called it, but my mind was too busy, destroying me from the inside out, and placing thoughts I didn't want there. I hope that he would still want me even with all my doubts, but I wasn't sure.

He looked slightly deflated when I protested against the Queen and when I didn't want the engagement to be so soon, but I didn't mean it personal. I didn't mean anything against him.

I was just shocked. He never told me it would be so soon.

I doubt he even knew it would be so soon.

"Did you know?" I ask, Needing to know the truth.

If we were going to be partners, we needed to know everything about each other, right?

"I didn't." he said softly, taking my hand in his. "I was shocked that it would be so soon too, I didn't realise she would plan it for as soon as we arrived. That was my fault I should of expected that of my mother. i should have warned you. She gets overexcited. I wouldn't take it as anything else if I were you. She doesn't mean no harm by it." He rubs his thumb across my palm, "I can try and postpone if you so wish it."

I shake my head, smiling at him softly. "no that's alright, I didn't mean to cause a fuss, I just didn't know."

"that makes two of us." He laughs. "But at least we can rest now." He adds opening the door to our left.

I walk into the bedroom or chamber, or whatever they call it, I guess I will learn eventually.

There was a large queen size bed with four posts and black curtains that went all the way round. The lights were electric and it looks like they were other electricals too, so I guess I won't be bored all the time, they are sort of up with the times, Even if it was only slightly.

But I had to admit, the room was really nice, it was painted in black, and some light greens, Calen even told me there was a walk-in closet that's already been kitted out with just my size, or should I say half of it had, the other half belong to Calen. I had always wanted my own full walk-in wardrobe. I always wanted a lot of things that I could never have, I suppose I could have anything I asked for now, so long as it was within reason.

I walked around for a few minutes, noticing a small sofa in the TV to one side and two iPads on the bedside table, it was nice, extravagant, but nice.

I didn't think I needed all of this. I wasn't sure what Calen thought about it all, but I had always been used to the more simpler life. I have never really had anything worth money. My sister, Sarah and I couldn't afford it, we were barely getting by as it was. Even though she worked as hard as she could. She did her best, and that's all I could've asked. But sometimes I wish I had more. Now I do.

Calen showed me the walk-in bathroom, it had a massive Jacuzzi/bath and a shower that fit upwards of seven people if you really squeezed, but it would fit me and the prince in just fine, If that's what partners did that is.

I have never even been in a relationship before. So I didn't really know what to expect out of all this, I didn't know the first thing about being with someone. Especially in the bedroom. If you know what I mean.

"I'm going to shower." Calen says, kissing in the back of my hand before letting go and turning to walk away.

I caught him by the hand, feeling brave as i gently tugged him back to me. "would you like me to join you?" I ask shyly.

He smiles, it was a smile that could shatter glass, shatter the stone around my heart. "I would love you to join me. I like being around you, and the thought of seeing your body is even better."

I blush, not sure what to say, so I walked into the bathroom and began taking off my clothes, knowing that that was enough consent, he would know to join me or at least I hoped he would. Not even a minute later, the prince was beside me taking off his clothes before switching on the shower. We waited until the water got hot, Calen taking my hand and leading me on the slippery floor, careful to make sure that I don't fall.

"You are sure about this? I can wait outside." he smiles, Keeping his eye is on my face.

But how could I say no to that smile?

Instead of saying anything back, I took both his hands in mine and climbed onto my tiptoes, pulling him down to my level so that I could give him my first ever kiss. He took the kiss slow, taking the lead once he realised I didn't know what I was doing, but never once complaining I was an inexperienced girl. Instead he took the kiss gently, Taking his time to explore my mouth with his lips and tongue, but my body wanted more, I was on fire all over. It was like he had ignited a flame that I couldn't put out on my own and i wanted more.

I pushed my body flush against his, silently asking him for more, the water caressing over our skin. It was a strange sensation, everything was so sensative, so tender.

He lifted me up his arms on the back of my thighs, and pushed me against the tile of the Shower, holding me in place as his hands explored my body. I wanted to scream in frustration when he went so close to my private area, but then moved. I want to tell him that I needed more, but I don't know what I need and more of.

It was like he read my mind, his hand moving to my private area, while he's over explored my breasts, It was all too much at once and yet it all felt so good, it was all amazing, and I knew that I was there with him, but if I don't want to do it any longer he would stop.

But god did I want it, I wanted it more than anything else right now.

I wanted him, and him alone.
